3.2 DATA USED IN THE STUDY The present study uses primary data collected in an online questionnaire applied between April 7 and May 11, 2020. The questionnaire has 15 questions that aim to verify how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected people in the city of Rio de Janeiro. The data obtained address issues such as income, employment, activities that were affected by the start of the pandemic, people’s feelings about the pandemic, among others. Additionally, some geographical regions of the city will be used, particularly the planning regions, available at the public geographic database of the city hall (Instituto Pereira Passos – IPP). These data have been geoenriched with the ArcGIS demographic data from the year 2018. Of the variables present in the database, the number of men and women, age, and population density for each planning region in the city will be used. Concerning the COVID-19 data, the public bases for mapping the pandemic will be used, especially the data provided by the city hall of Rio de Janeiro, considering that in this data information is included by the planning regions used in the present study. The database fed by the Ministério da Saúde (Ministry of Health), for example, does not reach the level of detail necessary to carry out the planned analyzes. Finally, to verify how the questions related to the questionnaire were searched over time, the Google Trends database will be used, as well as the official public databases related to the pandemic in order to situate it in time and space in the analysis performed. In the table below (Figure 11), it is possible to verify the data and sources used for the present study’s analyses.
